Heroes Invade the Lands of the Darkstone
The big news in the land of Darkstone is the addition of the Hero level. Already four players have conquered the avatar challenge and risen to the heights of Hero. Our warmest congratulations to Magus, Relentless, Lacar and Villani.
Interview With a Vampire
This week we meet Magus, the leader of the Vampires, one of our new Heroes. Magus's Favorite Strategy for Killing Mobs
Before I fight anything I haven't seen, I consider it, and hit it with an identify spell. Sure, it may be called "a small child", but who's to say that it isn't level 60, and affected with fire/ice/shockshield? After that, removing all fragile gear of mine is generally a good idea if I'm not sure of how strong it is. Better I die than lose a valuable item. I usually cast vampire lore on myself, and any other of my usual spells that aren't already on me. I'll cast ill fortune on the mob to mess up the odds of it hitting me, and prepare a hotkey for necromantic touch. I kick things off with a backstab, and several hits of necromantic touch. Then I'll usually let my blades and iceshield do the work, with necromantic touch going, pausing sometimes to feed. If I'm feeling cocky, I'll use dirt on it, and try to blind it, or cast black hand, and let that pound on the mob. It's all about tipping the scales as much in your favor as you can, and overwhelming it with superior force. Do that, and you'll usually come out on top.
Magus has been mudding for over three years. About four months ago he was introduced to Darkstone by a good friend. He enjoys the small town atmosphere of DS where everybody knows each other. As leader of the vampires, Magus spends much of his time helping others and building up the clan. Look for more of Magus's tips in future issues.

Message from Selectruh
Thanks for playing the game. Tarin and I hoped from day one when we started the mud years ago that people would have a place to go where they could have fun, role-play, and have a place where they would feel a strong sense of belonging. The immortal team has been great and we are growing in leaps and bounds thanks to everyone. Our goal is to be the best game possible. The immortal team always comes up with new and exciting ways that you can truly become a Legend ... of the Darkstone.
